Missouri Middle School STEM Standards (Grades 6–8)

Engineering Design

6-8.ETS1.A.1

• Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, considering scientific principles and impacts on people and the environment.

6-8.ETS1.B.2

• Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

6-8.ETS1.B.3

• Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among design solutions and identify the best characteristics to combine into an improved solution.

6-8.ETS1.B.4

• Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process to achieve an optimal design.

HS STEM Standards

Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems

9-12.ETS1.A.1

• Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.

Developing Possible Solutions

9-12.ETS1.B.1

• Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics.

9-12.ETS1.B.2

• Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.

Optimizing the Design Solution

9-12.ETS1.C.1

• Evaluate solutions to a complex real-world problem using a computer simulation to model impacts and interactions among systems.
